Mike Tyson: The Undisputed Truth

MUST WATCH

"This is the kind of thing we showed is possible in boxing last year at our inaugural induction ceremony," Marotta said. "Former and even current rivals coming together under the same roof to celebrate boxing. Everyone checks those rivalries at the door."

In November 1996, Holyfield defeated Tyson at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas by an 11th-round TKO. Their highly anticipated rematch was in June 1997 at the same venue. In the third round of that bout, Tyson shocked fans around the world when he bit off a piece of Holyfield's right ear. Tyson was disqualified from the fight.

In the years that have followed the ear-biting, Holyfield and Tyson have been on better terms. They've even been in a recent television commercial together. In a humorous Foot Locker ad, Tyson says, "I'm sorry, Evander," handing him a box that is supposed to have the piece of Holyfield's ear in it, saying he kept it in formaldehyde.

Included in this year's Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame class are Holyfield, George Foreman, Roberto Duran, Joe Louis, Sonny Liston, Cornelius Boza Edwards, Jack Dempsey and Archie Moore. Tyson is a member of the inaugural class of 2013.
